Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 11th Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes Notes

Haloalkanes – When one or more hydrogen atoms of aliphatic hydrocarbons are replaced by a halogen atom, the resultant compounds are called Haloalkanes.

Haloarene – When one or more hydrogen atoms of aromatic hydrocarbons are replaced by a halogen atom , the resultant compounds are called Haloarenes.

R-X – Mono halogen derivatives of alkanes are called haloalkanes. They are classified as 1° (Primary), 2° (secondary) and 3° (Tertiary) haloalkanes.

Nature of C-X bond in haloalkanes – Carbon halogen bond is a polar bond as halogens are more electronegative than carbon.

Ammonolysis – Reaction with alcoholic ammonia:

Ambident Nucleophile – Nucleophiles such as cyanide and nitrite ion which can attack the nucleophilic centre from two sides are called ambident nucleophiles..

SN2 Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions.

SN1 Unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions.

E2 reaction – Bimolecular elimination reactions.

E1 reaction – Unimolecular elimination reactions.

Organometallic compounds – They are organic compounds in which there is a direct carbon-metal bond, e.g., CH3MgI Methyl magnesium iodide.

Haloarene – C6H5-X: In this type of compounds atoms is directly attached to benzene ring.

Resonance Structure of Halobenzene –

Polyhalogen compounds – Carbon compounds containing more than one halogen atoms are called polyhalogen compounds.

Gemdihalide – If two halogen atoms are attached to one carbon atom, it is called gem dihalide, eg., CH3CHCl2-Ethylidene chloride.

Vicinal dihalide – If two halogen atoms are attached to first two carbon atoms, it is called vicinal dihalide.

CHCl3 It is chloroform.

CCl4 It is tetrachloromethane (or) Carbontetrachloride.

Freops – (CFC’s) The chlorofluoro derivatives of methane and ethane are called freons.

DDT – It stands for p,p’ – dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane. It is an organic pesticide.
